IN THE YEAR OF 1930 LOUIS VUITTON CREATED ONE OF THEIR MOST REMARKABLE PIECES FOR ORCHESTRA CONDUCTOR LEOPOLD STOKOWSKI.THE DESK TRUNK WAS DESIGNED WITH THE SIGNATURE MONOGRAM CANVAS AND LINED IN SWALLOW GRAY VUITTON.

THIS WAS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST AND USEFUL LOUIS VUITTON TRUNKS CREATED IN THE START OF THE BRAND. I PRESENT THE LEOPOLD STOKOWSKI LOUIS VUITTON DESK TRUNK CREATED IN 1930.

LOUIS VUITTON "LADY TRUNK" CREATED IN 1906

THE LOUIS VUITTON "LADY TRUNK" WAS DISCOVERED WITHIN THE  FIRST YEARS OF  THE COMPANY. THE YEAR OF 1906 FOUNDER LOUIS VUITTON  DECIDED TO CREATE A MONOGRAM TRUNK FOR THE LADIES. THIS SPECIAL TRUNK WOULD MAKE PACKING SO MUCH EASIER FOR FEMALE CLIENTS OF LOUIS VUITTON THAT OTHER WOMAN AND THEIR MAIDS WOULD LACK. INSIDE THE TRUNK WOULD INCLUDE  FOUR REMOVABLE TRAYS: ONE FOR HATS; ONE WITH DIVIDERS FOR ACCESSORIES THAT WERE PROTECTED SUCH AS GLOVES, FANS, JABOTS, AND ALSO SHAWLS. ANOTHER DIVIDER FOR UNDER GARMENTS; SUCH AS PETTICOATS, CHEMISES, CORSETS, AND HOSIERY.THE LEFT SPACE WAS FOR MUCH LARGER ITEMS WOMEN WOULD NEED USE FOR SUCH AS COATS. THE DESIGN OF THIS TRUNK WOULD MURDER COMPETITION AS THE THE BIG "LV" STANDS ON THE OUT OF THE TRUNK IN YELLOW GOLD. IF MY TIME WAS AROUND THE YEARS OF THE EARLY 1900'S I WOULD MAKE SURE MY WIFE HAD THIS TRUNK STASHED AWAY IN HER CLOSET. THIS VINTAGE TRUNK DESIGN IS CLASSIC. YOU ARE NOW LOOKING AT THE "LADY TRUNK" OF 1906.

BENETTON ADS: WHIT HEARTS.BLACK HEARTS.YELLOW HEARTS

IN THIS PHOTO I FEEL THE HEARTS ARE THE RESEMBLANCE TO WHITE PEOPLE, BLACK PEOPLE, AND ASIAN PEOPLE.THIS PARTICULAR ADVERTISEMENT FROM BENETTON GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION THAT BENETTON WANTED TO GET THE MESSAGE ACROSS TO PEOPLE THAT NO MATTER WHAT COLOR, RACE, OR BODY FORM WE ALL HUMAN BEINGS WITH A HEART SO DON'T TREAT ANYONE DIFFERENT THAN ANOTHER BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE A HEART LIKE ANOTHER. I ALSO FEEL BENETTON WAS GETTING THE MESSAGE ACROSS TO CULTURES  THEY RESPECT EVERYONE AS A HUMAN BEING AND MAKE CLOTHES FOR EVERYONE. ME WRITING ABOUT THIS BENETTON ADVERTISEMENT HAS CAME UP AT THE THE PERFECT TIMING FOR THE WAY I HAVE BEEN FILLING LATELY. THE TITLE OF THE BLOG 'BLACK KIDS RUNNING INTO COOLNESS' IS NOT JUST A NAME I THOUGHT ABOUT JUST TO MAKE BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN KIDS FEEL WELCOME ONLY. EVERY TIME I TYPE A WORD, POST A PICTURE, AND LET YOU INTO A REAL LIFE EVENTS OF MINE IS FOR EVERYONE. I SUPPORT EVERY RACE AND TREAT EVERYONE EQUAL.I CHOSE THE TERM "BLACK KID" BECAUSE I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT I'M A BLACK KID FROM PHILADELPHIA WITH THIS DOPE ASS VISION.
